BioScan-916 analysis
can improve clinical management in patients with end stage Renal disease
(ESRD) who are undergoing
dialysis. Intermittent fluctuation in
hydration status and plasma salt concentration or the inability to
excrete excess water is
characteristic in End-Stage Renal Disease
Patients undergoing dialysis.
Depending on the efficiency of dialysis and patient, the alternation in
fluid volume can range from oedema with cardiopulmonary
congestion to
dehydration and hypotension. Rapid transcellular shift of water between
the extracellular (ECW) and Intracellular
water (ICW) compartments occur
during Haemodialysis (HD) due to the removal of 1 to 4 litres of fluid
over and average period
of 4 hours.
In peritoneal Dialysis (PD) between 1 to 3 litres of fluid dwell either
intermittently or continuously in the peritoneum, thus
producing
segmental accumulation of dialysate.
